Last week we posted this article: RETHINKING MOVEMENT: WHY YOU SHOULD SEE A PHYSICAL THERAPIST EVERY YEAR. and I mentioned that Jon Belmonte and I have been discussing a “screening” for members of CrossFit Suffolk/Spartan Performance that will determine what  movement issues, imbalances and other issues  could lead to either injury or poor performance and how to correct them.  Well Jon started providing the service and it’s been helpful already.  You could see Jon or Tara from Max Effort Physical Therapy if you have questions or to make an appointment.   Jon added, “And the screens will come with personalized exercise videos so you have a reference on how to do your extra work!!

      Yup!
      You might have noticed there’s some running in there too!
      That’s a 1 and a half mile run, 126 kettlebell swings and 72 pull-ups….not a bad little workout.
